PGP seems more like a hybrid encryption method, so I don’t think it fits the requirement for a symmetric block cipher.

I’m not entirely sure, but I think IDEA is also a symmetric cipher. I just can’t recall if it’s a block cipher or not.

I remember studying symmetric key algorithms, and I think DES was one of the examples we covered. But wasn't it considered weak now?

I feel like AES is the most commonly used symmetric block cipher nowadays. I think it would be a safe choice for Pete.

This looks like a straightforward question about email campaign workflow features. I think the Approval Workflow option is the best choice to automatically route emails to the creative team for proofing.

I'm not totally sure about this one. The query seems a bit complex, and I want to make sure I'm interpreting it correctly. I'll need to double-check my work.

Hmm, a flashing build icon - that's got to be something important, right? I'm going to read through the options closely and see if I can spot any clues.
